OKC District Attorney, David Prater, has pounced on the grassroots advocate for constitutional liberties. Tim Harper of News Now OKC has long been peacefully exercising his right to keep & bear arms, as well as his right to collect and publish news in the public domain.
But when he stopped by a Twin Peaks restaurant and tavern, the rifle slung over his shoulder, was deemed by Prater to be in violation of a little-known and rarely enforced state law. This statute says something to the effect that a business which 'primarily' sells alcohol, has very limited permission to have arms therein. Had Harper had just his sidearm, he'd be within the rules. David Prater prevailed with the judge when he declared Harper a purveyor of race wars and lawlessness. The events at the restaurant were peaceful, passive, and respectful, but Harper was jailed for days while Prater convinced the courts that a cash bond in excess of $100,000 was the only reasonable term for bailing Harper out. Harper missed a week of employment and was suspended from his job. that lead to an indefinite suspension which has left the household with mounting mortgage & other debts. When he was bailed out, it was only made within his means when he made a pledge to the judge to refrain from any social media communications, as well as turning over all his firearms, indefinitely. |

Indefinitely is the best way to describe it. There is no court date set for the trial. Prater seems to be imposing an 18-month probation on Harper via bond terms. We expect him to drop the charges after 18 months.
This same tactic is being employed by District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler, in Tulsa County Courts. Rick Hubbard of Broken Arrow was walking in a municipal park with his rifle slung over his shoulder, but police arrested him anyway. We talked with Adrian Otap of E Pluribus Otap. Tim Harper is someone Adrian is very concerned for. Adrian gives insights and advice for anyone seeking to encourage and support Tim's fight for liberty. Listen to the podcast |
